Great news this morning – PASS turned the ship around in 24 hours. Late last night, PASS President Tom LaRock announced:
- Voting deadlines have been extended until October 14th
- If you didn’t get a ballot email, you can still vote, but you have to update your PASS profile by Oct 5th
- The password vulnerabilities are fixed, and in the process of being tested
Go change your SQLPASS.org password right now.
This kills two birds with one stone: you’ll become eligible to vote, and less eligible for hacking. If you use that same password, go change it in every other place you use it, and now would be an excellent time to look at password management apps. I use 1Password, and I also hear good things about Lastpass.
